Overview
Death Wish's organic dark roast ground coffee comes in a 16 oz bag blending arabica and robusta beans, USDA Organic and Fair Trade certified. It is brewed for a bold, high-caffeine cup rather than a mild one, and works with drip machines and French press.
The robusta portion is what pushes the caffeine level above a typical dark roast, since robusta beans naturally carry more caffeine than arabica alone. Despite the dark roast, the maker describes the acidity as low with a flavor built around baker's chocolate and cherry notes rather than the ash-heavy bitterness some dark roasts lean on. It is sold in ground form here, with a whole bean version available separately.

Who it's for
Coffee drinkers who want a noticeably stronger cup than a standard dark roast and don't mind the robusta edge that comes with it. Less suited to anyone who prefers a mild, purely arabica cup or is sensitive to high caffeine.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Higher caffeine from the robusta blend
- USDA Organic and Fair Trade certified
- Low acidity despite the dark roast
- Works for both drip and French press
- Bold profile may not suit those wanting mild coffee
Performance notes
Robusta beans carry roughly double the caffeine of arabica, so blending them in is the actual mechanism behind the strength claim rather than roast level alone. The maker pairs that with a low-acidity profile, aiming for a smooth, heavy body instead of a sharp or bitter finish.
